Question: In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the speed of the electron is approximately 1.96 × 106 m/s. Find the centripetal acceleration on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit of radius 4.86 × 10−11 m.
Centripetal acceleration in a circular motion is calculated using the formula: a = v^2 / r where: a = acceleration v = speed of the electron (1.96 × 10^6 m/s) r = radius of the orbit (4.86 × 10^-11 m) So, you just need to substitute the given values and calculate: a = (1.96 × 10^6 m/s)^2 / (4.86 × 10^-11 m) By calculating the above, the value of acceleration which you get will be the centripetal acceleration of the electron.
